The aim of this interdisciplinary monograph concerning a child's transcending is to make the multivocal concept of educational reality more easily accessible. In the theoretical part the concept of transcendence is analyzed from the point of view of linguistics, the philosophy of education, psychology, and religious pedagogy.
The influence on upbringing is also pointed out clearly. The thesis further develops the concept of the ideal homo transcendens; care and concern for the transcending of educators, children, and the curriculum is also discussed.
